Cablc.--Spccial to the BEE. The new
triple alliance between Germany, Austria
and Italy takes the general public somewhat
by surpr sc, but in official circles everybody
was well prepared for it. IL is understood
that England was not consulted in the mat
ter, nor was there any necessity to consult
her. her interests not being directly concerned
one way on the other No doubt Prince Bis
marck has more than once advised her to
pursue policy in Egypt which would have
been calculated to embitter the relations be-
tween England and France. Had his coun-
ell been followed, Engand would now prac-
tically, though not formally, be party othc
triple alliance. Efforts have also been
made on the part of Austria to
establish more intimate relations
with England, especially just before Lord
Randolph Churchilrs resignation last year
What went ON about that time may never be
fully known to the public, but it is certain
that intrigue was rife and that England was
very nearly being drawn into dangerous en-
tanglemcnts. Since then Lord Salisbury has
shifted his course rcverting more to the Pal
merstonau policy, cultivatng a good under
standing with France and leaving the Ger
man powers to settle their own policy. The
mutual concessions in reference to the SueZ
canal and the New Hcbridcs came as kind of
formal announcements TO the new entente
cordialc, and Prince Bismarck, who has seen
whittier things were drifting, has hesitated
no longer in playing his last card and this
is intended as serious check to Russia rs
well as n warning to France. The Meditcr-
rancan comes within the scope of the, treaty
and this project Of turning that sea into a
Russian lake must once more be postponed
The triple alliance can act only and be re-
garded us Il sort of decree binding Russia and
France to keep the peace. England takes it
coolly, but even she might not be beyond the
reach of its influence If renewed trouble
broke out in Egypt. They could be very
easily stirred up at any time as it would not
be difficult To make England responsible for
their existence and continuance In such
case, confronted by II triple alliance, Eng
land would be driven TO act with France.
The great object of most statesmen here
for years past has been 10 keep out of Euro
pean complications. Lord Salisbury has I'M
questionably worked towards the same end,
especially of late but the train laid by Prince
Bismarck may yet lead to results which few
in England expect. At any rate the govern
ment here will have something to watch be-
sides the progress Of the insurrection of Ire
land. 1t means to have no more sessions
given up exclusively to Irish affahs Many
will ask how that can be prevented under the
present rules the house of commons. That
has formed the subject of many delibera-
tions and the government believes that
the solution of the difficulty is for the
rules to be altered, and if neces-
sary still greater changes be insisted
on in order that the contract of the popular
branch of the legislature may be recovered
for the business of the nation. The unionist
party will stand nearly solid in demanding or
supporting these reforms within the house
sessions Experience has convinced the
government that it wuuld be useless to mco,
Parnell again without some new weapon in
their hands, The Irish party has taken ur
the very clear line, 'No business for anybody
until homie rule is conceded Before the
next session opens the ministry will cause it
to be announced at the usual meeting of the
Cotton club, if not before, that they, too
have line they mean &c
pursue and upon its success they will
stake their existence. AS the probable up
shot of these trials of strength il must not be
forgotten that the ministry can command q
majority of over one hundred and that tn,
doubtful liberal unionists are believed not tC
exceed half dozen. No party desires an
other general election, not even the Parncll
ties, for that costs large sums and two elec
tons in eight months left the funds very low
indeed. 1t is easy for platform orators t'
tall, about forcing the government to dissolu
ton, but it is not SO easy TO tell how 1t is L
be done.
How many members of parliament will b,
missing when the session opens on account o.
unavoidable engagements of a most unpcas
ant nature. Mr., O'l'riou will be free, bu
the list of detmues seems likely to increase
Joseph Cox, member for East Glare, is to b,
be hauled up and also James Row
lands, member for London constituency
Mil and Shochy, Conybeare has managed q
keep out of trouble. Cox is one of the mos
popular members of the Panollite part,
men His opponents viii be sorry to hear o
him being consigned 10 Jail. Rowlands is
watch cuse maker living in his constituency
and deserves the credit of having stood b.
his home rule principles more firmly in thi
hour Of danger than most Of his English col
leagues.
There have been whispers that prcscntG
tion would shortly bc instituted against pi
Ion, and that several other English member
will have to answer for their conduct, tn
feeling is growing that condemned person
should not be forced 10 wear prison Clothm
and associate with convicts Strong repre-
eeEtations have been made to the govern
